Relationship Reality “RR” is an innovative, one of a kind, 1 day relationship seminar, based in Dallas, Texas, designed to reveal relationship truths that will help bulletproof your relationship.
At Relationship Reality, we present you with ideas and information not available from any other source, designed to increase the odds of long term success for your relationship. Part of the formula for success is understanding the consequences of failure. Knowledge is power!
Most of us in long term relationships live with our heads in the sand, either not seeing, or choosing to ignore, the warning signs of a deteriorating relationship until it’s too late. We don’t recognize or fully understand how our own behavior affects our relationship long term. Relationship Reality will help you identify and better understand behaviors that damage and destroy relationships and lives, and you will learn simple techniques on how to avoid them. Avoid the divorce lawyer’s office by arming yourself with information designed to help you and your spouse or mate live together longer and happier as a couple, resulting in a stronger and more satisfying relationship!

Often! RR targets that issue and so many others that are relevant to the challenges we all face daily in our busy lives. RR is about reality and trust us, it is very real!

Let’s Face It, Divorce Sucks!
We have all seen it happen: two people date, they fall in love, plan an expensive wedding and get married. Things seemingly go well for a while but over time, their relationship breaks down and one day they wake up and they are divorcing. Now their lives are literally turned upside down. They aren’t sure what went wrong with their marriage, their financial lives are in ruin, their children are permanently affected, they hire high priced lawyers to fight each other and they end up spending the children’s college education funds and more to destroy the person to whom they not so long ago pledged lifetime love and commitment.
What happened and why did it happen? Could anything have been done to prevent it? The simple answer is, in our modern world, we are generally not equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain a good relationship for a lifetime! This is not our grandparent’s world! We face challenges our grandparents could not even have conceived of.
Statistics indicate the divorce rate for first marriages is close to 50%, 67% for second marriages, and 74% for third marriages. Are these failure rates acceptable? At RR they aren’t!
If the pilot on your next flight announced we have a 50% to 74% chance of NOT reaching our destination, would you still board that aircraft? Of course not, but that’s what we do when we marry. What are we doing to avoid that high rate of failure? The sad but true answer is usually “nothing”! We do the best we can in choosing our mates but is that enough? Statistics prove it’s not enough for half of us! Statistically half of us have a 100% chance of relationship failure!
Of the approximate 50% of couples who don’t divorce, how many of them do you know who are really happy? If the truth be told, probably very few. Do they benefit from relationship education? No question about it! Everyone does! If this describes your life, why continue to suffer silently? The better educated we are, the more likely we are to be successful in our endeavors. Relationships are no different and what more important personal endeavor is there than the quest for happiness within your relationship? If you aren’t happy in your relationship, it negatively affects all aspects of your life. Be proactive, take control and choose to improve your life! You have SO MUCH to gain.
Invest in Your Relationship
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So trite but SO true. How much time and money would you spend to reduce the high risk of divorce and the emotional and financial devastation? How much time and money would you spend to get one or more of your significant needs better recognized and met by your spouse? Can you even put a price tag on that? Simply stated, no, you can’t!
Many couples spend small fortunes on their wedding day for a great party, but spend nothing to keep their relationship great! How much money does your family spend on entertainment each year? Compare that to what you spend each year keeping your relationship strong! Nothing to compare is there? The truth is, we generally spend NOTHING on relationship maintenance until our relationship goes into a ditch, then we spend LOT’S of money on counseling not knowing whether the relationship can be saved or whether we even want to save it. Very often after the damage has been done, there may be NO saving it!
Relationships, like most tangible things, deteriorate if they aren’t maintained. You can’t put your marriage on ice or in a vacuum sealed container to preserve it. You can’t ignore your relationship indefinitely and expect it to survive. It’s never too late to invest in your relationship! What do you risk losing by making that investment? NOTHING! What do you risk losing if you DON’T make that investment? EVERYTHING!
Just like your retirement or college funding program, NOW is the time to start! What bigger asset do you have in your life than your relationship? It’s never TOO EARLY or TOO LATE to invest in YOU!
